February 1, 2016

It was above freezing! For like 2 days but it was a great 2 days. Then it snowed again so we are below 32 again but it will get warm again one day I think...
I was listening to a BYU devo from Elder Holland entitled the Inconvenient Messiah.
Elder Holland talks about how The savior never helped himself with any of his worldly needs after He fasted and was tempted to turn stones to bread he did not. He never used the Power of God which he had to aid himself it was always to help other. The savior’s life was not fair at all. He gave up his life as a random for things he never did. And yet we fall into the trap of complaining that life is not fair. We need to get over that, Life was never meant to be fair it was meant to be trail after trial so that we could learn to become who our God has always wanted us to be. There will always be people with more money or more things but that is not what brings joy. Joy only comes through Christ and obedience to his Laws and commandments. Always remember that all things will be made fair but it is only though our savior that that will happen.
We found a dog and played with him for a while the other day and that was fun we also went to the Rio Grand Ice festival, there were ice sculptures everywhere! It was really awesome to see people work the ice into incredible works of art!
I love you guys! I know that good things happen to those who go and make them happen don't just sit and wait because if you do you will never stop waiting.
Elder Stewart
